The declining trend since 2012 is mainly due to a natural decline in recovery from the fields, as the majority of fields have already produced the bulk of the expected recoverable oil.
The large decline in production in 2020 was due to the temporary shut down of the Tyra field's installations and the nearby satellite fields in September 2019 due to the Tyra field redevelopment project. The production from the Tyra installations was resumed in march 2024.
In addition, the Solsort oil field came into production in 2024.
